The clouds floated away, and the half-moon crescent reflected the courtyard, as if it were covered with cold silver frost.
The rustling... is the swaying of the green trees in the courtyard.
The figure standing outside the window is wearing a washed black robe with threads. He is short and thin. He is facing away from the window. He is slowly approaching the window lattice. A pair of white candles are placed on the table. The candlelight is flickering, as if the next moment.
It will be as if it goes out.
The fat on the fat Taoist's face trembled slightly. When he realized what he was doing, he didn't turn over the book anymore. He quickly took out the magic formula and put it in front of his chest. He stepped on the ground rhythmically with one foot and his eyes were stern.
"Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, the foundation of Wanqi. Cultivate for thousands of kalpas and prove my magical powers..." At the end of the words, he raised his fingertips suddenly above his head. The fat Taoist looked at the floating Taoist who was almost leaning against the window lattice, lying on his back.
The figure's speech speed became faster, and he suddenly shouted: "I'm an order, you big cold melon, what am I going to say next!"
Over there, the figure with his back facing him was lying on his back and leaning sideways, drifting in through the window lattice. Seeing that the candle was about to go out, the fat Taoist priest quickly went to protect it. However, the movement was too big. The moment he reached out, his wide sleeves directly extinguished the candle.
.
The room suddenly became dark.
Da~~
It was the sound of stiff footsteps, and the outline of a person was retreating this way in the darkness. The fat Taoist priest was busy taking out fire certificates, and with a cold sweat on his face, he stammered towards the approaching black figure: "Let's discuss it, you stay where you are.
Later, let me light the candle first."
With trembling fat hands, he broke the fire stick and blew out the sparks, then lit a candle. When the light of the fire lit up slightly, the back of the black robe was already in front of him, and a gloomy and corrupt atmosphere filled the air.
The fat Taoist was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he forced a smile.
"Brother, how about I do some tricks for you? If you keep wandering around, you will never see me when you come back."
"See...have you been there?"
The figure stood in front of the fat Taoist priest, and a gloomy voice came from the front, "Have you... seen it?!"
"I've seen it, I've seen it, I've seen you, please turn around first..." Looking at the back in front of him, the fat Taoist priest waved his hands quickly: "No, no, don't turn, that's fine... don't move.
, don’t move!”
The fat Taoist priest moved his steps and backed away slowly. As soon as he reached the door, he rushed out. In a moment, he ran back and grabbed the book on the stool.
Leave a message: "I forgot to take it!"
The next moment, he turned around and ran away, shouting in the village. From time to time he looked back at the house that was still lit by a faint candlelight. At the dimly lit doorway, a little bit of black shadow moved out. Sure enough, the figure on his back was gone.
He came out, suddenly accelerated towards him, and chased the fat Taoist priest with a retreating posture.
"Don't chase me! I'm a Taoist priest from the Tianshi Mansion. If you chase me, you will be..." When he ran to a house, the fat Taoist priest didn't bother to talk, and just knocked on the door with his hand.
Bang bang bang... several times in a row, it seemed like there was no one inside. No matter how loudly I knocked, there was no movement.
"Why don't you sleep so deeply? There really is a ghost——"
Seeing the figure retreating and chasing him, the fat Taoist priest rushed to the next house and knocked on the door. The fierce knocking on the door caused a burst of barking from the dogs in the village.
Woof woof woof!!
The fat Taoist rushed around the corner and saw the haystacks piled up between the two houses. He simply got in. He took two big breaths and held it in. He carefully looked out through the gap in the grass and saw the figure carrying him on his back.
As he ran past in front of him, he could vaguely see the ghost's gray face, a crooked mouth and a pair of hollow eyes.
Seeing the ghost behind him passing by, the fat Taoist breathed out a sigh of relief. Before he could come out, there were sudden footsteps, which frightened him so much that he didn't dare to move, so he cautiously took a look outside.
He saw the stiff figure coming back again, stopping not far away. On the gray face, the empty and turbid eyes moved, sliding to the corners of their eyes and staring at him.
"Have you... seen it?!"
"ah!!"
The Taoist screamed, pushed away the haystack, and rushed out with his hands and feet dancing wildly. The next moment, there was a sudden soft sound in front of him, like the sound of the sleeves of his robe fluttering.
The figure flew up from the eaves and shouted loudly: "You brave ghost, Buddha beads!"
A string of Buddhist beads bloomed with golden light, grazing the top of the fat Taoist priest's head, and flew past. While passing through the carrying ghost, the monk descended from the air and formed a seal: "Take it!"
The Yin Qi collapsed and was instantly sucked into the beads. As the monk spread his hands, the beads flew back.
"My Buddha is compassionate!"
The monk rolled up his Buddhist beads and chanted the Buddha's name with his vertical seal. Seeing this, the fat Taoist priest over there felt relieved for no reason and hurriedly went up to greet him: "Thank you, Master, for your help. I lost my magic weapon on the way, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a mess."
.”
"Sun Zhengde is bragging again."
Hearing the familiar voice, the fat Taoist priest turned around suddenly and saw Chen Yuan and the crazy old man standing there with a smile. Suddenly, his fat face and eyebrows raised a few times happily.
"East...home!!!"
The fat Taoist hurriedly came forward to greet him, and when he saw the crazy old man peeping his head, he opened his arms and hugged him, and the two of them jumped up and down in their arms.
"I'm leaving, did you have a good meal or make some soup?"
"No, no, all I eat is leftovers. I want to eat two kilograms of beef, but I won't let him..." The crazy old man rubbed his fingers in aggrieved manner.
Well……
Sun Zhengde looked at the old man speechlessly and muttered: "If it were me, I wouldn't let you do it."
"Didn't you learn Taoism from Fei He in Liangya Mountain Mansion? Why did you come down the mountain?" After a few words of greeting, Chen Yuan asked the other party why he came down here, "How many times has this happened? Every time I see you, I don't meet you.
Damn it, it’s just bad luck!”
"Feihe received the summons and went to Hezhou to help. I was bored on the mountain alone, so I went down to take a look and get some ingredients... On the way, I met people from this village who were going to Bazhou to ask for a mage, so I thought I would learn from it.
If there are some things, just take them and try them."
"And then try it like this?"
After hearing the cause and effect, Chen Yuan laughed and asked, "Then what did you learn on the mountain?"
"Hey, you've got it right. There are so many people studying in this Taoist mountain. There are so many Taoist scriptures and talismans and talisman arrays."
The fat Taoist clasped his fingers and talked excitedly: "Six Armor Secret Scriptures, Six B Dharma Spells, Five Talisman Divine Fire, Invisibility Technique, Wall Penetration Technique... Boiled chicken, angelica with black-bone chicken, and rice porridge with shrimps."
Ahem!
Chen Yuan hurriedly coughed twice, and then the fat Taoist realized what he was doing. He quickly retracted his fingers and straightened his expression, "He shouted, I'm trying to figure out a way from the ingredients!"
"I am superficial."
Chen Yuan endured the curve of the corner of her mouth, and then remembered the strange things in the village. When she looked at the monk, the latter knew what he was going to ask. He looked around and said: "The ghost behind the back, a ghost with no moral character, often
They were all punished to death and were not allowed to show their faces after death. The ghost must have offended something before he was alive and was punished like this."
"Could it be caused by the theft of the incense burner from the temple as mentioned by the old man?"
"Then how do you explain this?" As he spoke, Zhenhai pushed open the door of a room next to him. There was someone sleeping on the bed inside, but he was not awakened by such a big movement.
The fat Taoist glanced behind Chen Yuan and turned pale with fright. He saw a wooden man lying on the bed covered with a mattress. His face was lifelike. It was the village elder who had guided him before.
